ForbesNYT Mini Crossword Hints, Clues Answers For Sunday, April 19By Kris HoltWondering what the beaklike teeth of a parrotfish are used to bite? Not sure which animator drew Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck? Don’t worry, because I’m here to help you with some extra clues and the answers for today’s NYT Mini crossword.
The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper’s larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.
Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you’ll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.
To help you avoid getting stuck and having to reveal missing letters, here are the NYT Mini Crossword hints, clues and answers for Monday, April 21.

It took me 0:32 to complete today’s NYT Mini.
A pretty easy one for me today. I didn’t know the CORAL answer and SMART didn’t click on my first pass, but I knew the rest of the Across answers. I did figure out all of the Down answers on my first attempt.
See you tomorrow for more NYT Mini fun!
